Some of your responsibilities include:
- Leading procurement initiatives focused on cost savings and life-cycle management.
- Establishing and maintaining strong supplier relationships to ensure effective risk management, availability, quality, and cost efficiency.
- Negotiating contracts, pricing, delivery performance, and total cost of ownership (TCO).
- Managing supplier, product, and master data within our SAP systems.
- Collaborating with the Quality team to select, evaluate, and approve new suppliers.
- Handling supplier claims and deviations in coordination with relevant stakeholders.
- Supporting the Planning and Procurement team in resolving material supply issues and identifying alternative sources.
- Implementing and adapting to evolving regulatory requirements within your supplier portfolio to ensure ongoing compliance with domestic and international import, export, and quality standards.
- Professionally proficient in English, both written and spoken.
- Open-minded and eager to learn and adopt new IT tools.
- Skilled in Excel; experience with SAP or MRP systems is a strong advantage.
- Analytical and structured, with a high attention to detail, strong quality focus, and solid commercial awareness.
- Outgoing and proactive, with a continuous improvement mindset and a passion for solving challenges.
- Experienced in supplier management, contract negotiations, and end-to-end procurement processes.
- Educational background relevant to procurement, ideally with experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably involving electronics or mechanical components.
Expect to spend around 20-30 days per year visiting suppliers and conducting onsite evaluations - an excellent opportunity to build global relationships and gain firsthand operational insights.
